275-60/20's not going to fit with Bilsteins?

Installed Bilsteins set at 1.75" lift

Running a set of 2014 Silverado 18" wheels with 275/65-18 Cooper ATP's, so one size bigger than the stock tire which was 265/65-18

Here's the front of the wheel well at full lock

And here's the back of the wheel well

I barely have enough in there for my keyfob

According to an online calculator

The 275/65-18 tires are 32.1" tall
The 275/55-20 tires are 31.9" tall
The 275/60-20 tires are 33.0" tall

As you can see, I can barely fit a keyfob in there. There might be 1/2 an inch of clearance. Do I risk it, or just suck it up and get 275/55's if I go with 20's. Maybe see if Discount Tire will mount one up and let me check it in the parking lot?

Get the 275/60 and order a 1/2" front spacer and get a rear 3/4" spacer. Level it out and it will clear. Can trim the fender liner to clear also

They fit! Just barely. Drove down a 4" curb and didn't feel or hear anything rubbing.

I don't think you will have a problem with the 55s or the 60s. I have a 2016 tahoe and I did a 2inch level kit and stayed with the 55s. I didn't want to change my fuel mileage to much.

Here's another pic - I need to park by a stock one. Looks way 'beefier' now

I'm running 275/60/20 on my Tahoe and when I turn my wheel completely to the right, it rubs slightly on the cover. Nothing to stop you from putting them on.
